Behind the cover of Ramones



As a hangout at Max's Kansas City George Du Bose became associated with New Wave music after he began speculative work with the fledgling B52s and made the great covers for their first two albums. He has photographed and designed over 300 album covers, collecting 18 gold and platinum albums for groups as diverse as the REM, The Go Gos, Melissa Etheridge, Kid Creole and the Coconuts, Biz Markie and Big Daddy Kane. The Ramones have commissioned him to photograph or design their last nine covers. Cool pix - you know them all. Fun stories about Madonna and stuff.
